That way, things like hank.myopenid.url would work. Here’s one way to do it:


*.yourdomain.com. IN A 111.111.111.111

But, we ended up using a CNAME instead:


UPDATE ADD *.yourdomain.com. 86400 IN CNAME yourdomain.com

Then in your Apache virtual hosts directive add a wildcard alias like this


ServerAlias *.yourdomain.com

Incredible.
